CVE-2016-9183
The method selectObjectsBySql of class mysqli_database uses the injectProof method to prevent SQL injection, but this filter can be bypassed easily: it only sanitizes user input if there are odd numbers of ' or " characters.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
